[00:04] Say, is ltsp client on Maverick supposed to show plymouth? [00:09] ah, ltsp-localapps [01:53] doh...the current CD image has a bug :( stuck at Retrieving file 18 of 18 :( [02:27] hi [02:27] i'm having trouble with latest nvidia binary on maverick, can someone suggest a solution, please? [02:58] Is the transition to xorg server 1.9 going to be very painful for users of proprietary drivers, or will the big changes live in the proposed repository until it's relatively stable?....or some other way [02:59] peepingtom, mm good question actually... have you asked on #ubuntu+1 [02:59] peepingtom, sorry this is #ubuntu +1 [02:59] peepingtom, must be tired here [03:12] peepingtom: don't really know. Something is causing pain for those using nvidia hardware drivers, though. [03:16] Wow. 187 users using Maverick. [03:18] with nvidia you've got to have ignoreabi in the xorg.conf file [04:04] Does xorg.conf still exist in Maverick? [04:06] only if you create it [04:06] well, actually, hardware drivers will also create it if needed. [04:06] Nvidia usually does === albech_ is now known as albech [05:11] Volkodav: I have sat out a day or two :P [05:13] E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. :( [05:14] Kai_: as far as I know the xserver issue is not resolved with nvidia proprietary driver - but I was not quite following for the last 2 days but if you do not that driver you should be ok to upgrade I think [05:15] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMTDt1zyD6M&feature=related - Is this dangerous for Ubuntu? [05:15] i use that driver :P [05:16] so do I so my uptime is 5 days so far [05:17] should I uninstall the driver and reinstall after upgrading to maverick? [05:20] No - while upgrading chances are you will be switched to either nv or nouveau [05:20] that's all [05:20] I can't upgrade because of that error :( [05:20] so the system should be operational but without proprietary drivers [05:21] Oh - then you wait [05:21] ... [05:21] When will things work? >_> [05:22] when the new xorg will work with nvidia drivers - there is a minor glitch really and nothing major from what I heard [05:22] so it should be soon [05:23] Is there a version that works in any vcs anywhere? [05:24] not sure [06:20] hey, guys - I'm looking for the gnome theme manager and I can't find it, so I'm just looking for the command to run === andregondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [07:34] litropy: gtk-window-decorator --replace === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:47] So, maverick is really quite broken this morning [09:48] nvidia and network manager on here are unusable [09:51] use indicator-network, dump nvidia ;) [09:54] om26er: nouveau doesn't support compiz yet :-) [09:55] and indicator-network isn't installed. === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [12:00] did anyone get unity working on a Virtualbox?

[15:30] gnomefreak, i have explained how to fix your issue [15:36] nvidia-graphics-drivers 256.44 supports xserver 1.9 but you need to manually add [15:36] Option "IgnoreABI" "true" [15:36] to the serverflags section of your xorg.conf [16:43] so nvidia-graphics-drivers 256.44 has to come from their site ? I do not see them in the repos [16:45] Volkodav: ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [16:46] oh - it is in the ppa - thanks yofel [16:59] hi i installed the latest nvidia drivers as post and upgrade X fails to load...however still x does not seem to load an xorg.o.log shows the driver as 173 still how do i get this changed [17:19] bjsnider: what was it that you explained with nvidia (if it means removing the xorg.conf that does not fix the issue [17:20] ) [17:21] anyone have a working xß [17:22] gnomefreak, reinstall nvidia-current using joackey. when you have a xorg.conf, ping me [17:22] bjsnider: ok [17:23] pastbein the xorg.conf [17:23] i can't spell today at all [17:23] i understand it since i cant spell at all [17:24] bjsnider: do i need to restart after disabling -current than after reinstalling it [17:24] not yet [17:25] bjsnider: what kernel should i do it with [17:25] the one you want to use [17:26] bjsnider: will upgrading from .11 to .14 be ok after the workaround? or do i need to do it over again [17:27] it will be fine. dkms will install the module int he new kernel [17:27] bjsnider: ok cool. [17:28] ill be back in a few. its still removing [17:32] has anyone tried unity on a VM ? [17:37] jockey wont run :( [17:37] what do you mean [17:37] keeps crashing [17:38] now it crashes before it draws the window [17:38] well, just do an apt-get install nvidia-current [17:39] is nvidia-currrent working with 1.9? [17:39] for me it doesnt...- [17:39] i may have to :( [17:40] DrHalan: not really that is what we are working on atm [17:40] okay [17:40] is there a way to run at least novueau? my machine gets stuck at plymouth wheter or not nvidia-* is installed [17:41] DrHalan: bjsnider is going through the steps with me [17:41] you have been here long enough to see the start of it [17:42] yeah but i did allt his [17:42] i also use the x edgers packages to have a more recent nouveau [17:42] erm not noveau i mean nvidia-current ofc [17:42] running x edgers may be your issue [17:44] lol maybe [17:44] yesterday i was told to try xedgers [17:44] because nvidia-current from maverick didn't work either [17:44] or you are suffering the same as i was and it works around by removing xorg.conf kind of ironic since i am making one to get -current running [17:45] DrHalan: nvidia-current + 2.6.35.14 failed to work for me i filed a bug on it [17:46] gnomefreak: so you stll use 256.32ß [17:46] because xedgers has 256.44 [17:47] its not working atm with .11 i have stayed away from .14 since it failed to give me a tty [17:47] noveau is working atm [17:47] gnomefreak: "working" [17:47] hopfully once i get this done it will work [17:48] (It won't do flash video full-screen, for instance) [17:48] well flash is not useing the gpu at all afaik [17:48] nobody has fullscreen flash on linux [17:48] gnomefreak so nouveau works for you under 1.9 [17:49] bjsnider: why not? if oyur cpu is fast enough [17:49] DrHalan: well its a pre release atm i think [17:50] DrHalan: X.Org X Server 1.8.99.905 (1.9.0 RC 5) [17:52] bjsnider: http://pastebin.com/VW348r7t [17:52] mh im gone till monday anyways. hope my xserver works again then... [17:52] the new theem is awesome [17:52] anyone knows when the font is publically avaible? [17:54] thaqt looks like it should [17:54] gnomefreak, http://pastebin.com/gmWeATrX [17:54] use that one instead [17:55] k [17:55] ls -l /etc/alternatives/gl_conf [17:55] what does that command give you? [17:56] bjsnider: do i restart now? [17:56] not yet [17:56] run the command above [17:57] bjsnider: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Aug 12 12:50 /etc/alternatives/gl_conf -> /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf [17:57] good [17:57] and dkms status? [17:57] bjsnider: how do i find it [17:57] i mean run dkms status [17:58] bjsnider: nvidia-current, 256.35, 2.6.35-11-generic, i686: installed [17:58] Is there any way to enable 3D with Nouveau in Maverick? [17:58] gnomefreak, that is the kernel you're planning on booting? [17:59] -11 is too old [17:59] tr2123: nouveau is not 3d you needd to install nvidia-current or one of the other options in jockey [17:59] bjsnider: i was going to upgrade the kernel once i get nvidia worked out [17:59] .11 works though [17:59] alright then reboot [17:59] gnomefreak: Yes, it has 3D capabilities that are working just fine in Fedora Rawhide, and my whole point is to test out the open-source drivers, not just install the proprietary ones [18:00] bjsnider: upgrade first i take it [18:00] you can install updates afterwards [18:00] bjsnider: ok be back in a few [18:00] i hope [18:00] tr2123, those 3D capabilities are done through the gallium driver, and I don't think ubuntu ships it. [18:00] we dont [18:00] brb [18:01] Daekdroom: Oh well, thanks anyway [18:01] Agh. aptitude wants to remove 217 packages [18:01] I suggest not doing it. [18:01] Or... do it and blame someone here, that works too. [18:02] I pick... Pici! [18:02] Yay [18:04] bjsnider: nope i got dropped into TTY [18:04] no X [18:04] * gnomefreak going for smoke, im sure removing xorg.conf will gring me back to X [18:06] gnomefreak, you may need to use the 256.44 driver for this [18:07] bjsnider: as i said with 256.44 i still don't have a working X [18:07] yes but the xorg.conf file has to be amended [18:08] http://pastebin.com/gmWeATrX [18:08] that one has to be used [18:09] did i use that one? sorry i have to type the full url in lynx or links [18:11] bjsnider: that looks like the one i have [18:11] no, dkms says you have 256.35 [18:11] bjsnider: i guess the "NoABI"-Option is the difference [18:12] that's right [18:12] bjsnider: that is the one i have [18:12] the nvidia driver contains code that disabled it if it sees an unknown x server version [18:12] gnomefreak, nvidia-current, 256.35, 2.6.35-11-generic, i686: installed [18:13] you need to get the 256.44 driver [18:13] bjsnider: i know i give you the output [18:13] bjsnider: thats in edgers repo [18:13] repo -> PPA [18:14] bjsnider: im guessing you want me to uncomment that PPA [18:14] it's also in x-updates [18:14] bjsnider: in teh ubuntu archives?
